Thoughts on proposed merger of MUSC & College of Charleston?
Feb 8, 2014, 4:55 PM
|
|
Also throw The Charleston Law School in the deal as well. I wish the lawmakers would let Clemson obtain these schools. Too many coots to let this happen. Anybody think CoC could start a football program?

I didn't even know this was a thing. I am interested to know how this would affect musc tie to SCAR. If it does separate it would be a big hurt to scar who bases the success of the medical undergrad programs on the ties to musc. I would guess charleston university would become the #1 school for med undergrads in state.

SCU's medical degrees are by far the best they have to offer
Feb 8, 2014, 5:19 PM
|
|
outside of their medical degrees and post grad international business program, an SCU degree is about as good as a high school diploma.

Outside of the state of SC, no one makes any distinction between USC and MUSC as far as where you went to medical school. USC and MUSC have similar MCAT scores and national board scores for their students.
Putting MUSC on the same level as Duke and Emory as far as national reputation is about the same as putting the Gamecocks up there with Alabama and Florida.

Maybe you should inform USC that MUSC "took over"

looks like it was a merger to me as it is on USC's website. If not, please provide something to back up your assertion other than a link.

Re: Thoughts on proposed merger of MUSC & College of Charleston?

My random thoughts:
The talk of merging The Citadel, MUSC, and The CofC has been around for over 20 years.
The College of Charleston has had its name since 1770 and some idiots in Columbia with absolutely no ties to the school propose in legislation that the college rename itself ? There's already a University of Charleston in WV with the same school colors and they have a football team.
The CofC had a football team and disbanded it before WWII.
I don't see the state buying a private law school for too many reason that I won't get into here, but the state government is trying to get rid of tenured professors due to costs. The purpose of merging is to reduce costs.

Horrible idea
Feb 8, 2014, 6:42 PM

I work at Medical College of Georgia (officially called Georgia Regents University) which recently merged with small liberal arts college in town called Augusta State and changed the name of both to GRU. Nobody likes the change. MCG is a very old and well respected institution, but nobody knows what this new GRU is. Merging probably won't hurt CofC but will certainly hurt MUSC, especially if they change the name.

governing body. Not sure how that is detrimental to either school. I have my BSN from MUSC and would not be the slightest concerned about the effect on my degree. It would be an easier way to streamline students from undergrad though post-graduate degrees and cut overhead. I'm not saying I'm jumping on the "do it now!" wagon, but I need to know why its a bad idea other than some guy referencing schools in augusta and his opinion (no offense meant).
As far as sports, whatever. Charleston is an easy town to sell, but its not like recruits are busting down the door to play on John Kresse court.

Wish Clemson would take over Charleston School of Law
Feb 8, 2014, 8:06 PM
|
|
Not going to happen, but that would be a great opportunity for Clemson. Even though their law school isn't that good, Scar has a lot of influence in the legislature, etc. because of it. If Clemson took over Charleston's law school, they could make it better than SCar's within a few years. I know it's in Charleston, but we already have Architecture programs there and it's not unheard of for a law school to be in a different place than the undergrad campus. As to the argument that we already have enough lawyers; yes, we do, but having Clemson take over a school that already exists wouldn't add to the number, it would just make them better.

If I'm not mistaken, the Charleston School of Law was recently sold (apparently some of the profs weren't happy about it)....I wondered if Clemson was aware the school was for sale. It would certainly have been an opportunity for our university to acquire a law school and upg.rade it academically...although state legislators/politics would've had to get involved and I think we pretty much know that outcome
I don't know enough about it to be able to make a judgement on quality, but I'm pretty sure I read that the Charleston School of Law had been accredited.

According to the media, College of Charleston Board of Trustees (and Bobby Harrell) are really pushing it while MUSC is against it. Seems Harrell is pushing to have the state legislature pass a law that would force MUSC to merge with C of C.

College of Charleston would probably love it. MUSC would fight it tooth and nail. That would mean that they would have to operate by state procurement, nepotism, and double employment rules that they get a waiver on now.

Musc
Feb 8, 2014, 9:21 PM
|

The new campus in Greenville was a well planned expansion of USC into the upstate. MUSC is trying to do the same thing since they were beat to the punch. Word is there will be 3rd and 4th year medical students beginning their clinicals at an upstate location with proximity to Clemson. The eventual plan as I understood it was this is the groundwork for MUSC opening a full 4-year upstate medical campus, and use Clemson as the site for their book years and AnMed as their clinical site.
Also, MUSC is a great school, and the best of the 3 medical schools in SC, but I wouldn't say top 3 in the southeast. Whoever said that is forgetting (as much as it pains me) UNC, UVA, Vanderbilt. Certainly Duke and Emory are there too, and I might even put Miami or UF on par with MUSC, but that is all good company to be in. Great medical schools. USC-M is a decent school as well. And PCOM in Georgia is a strong campus as well.

MUSC has been around since 1824, was the first medical school in the south, and has a lot of clout in the medical world. SC is very fortunate to have it. You don't throw away that reputation and name recognition.
The reasoning given for this is because having a strong research university in Charleston is key for economic development. That's silly. Besides, for a city so big on history and so proud of its past, throwing away the hard earned identities of these schools would be way out of character.
